I Love Guam! Part 5


I hate coconut, but it was fun seeing they crack these babies open and put straws inside to drink the milk. They actually used a machety. Until this trip, I had never seen an actual coconut growing on a tree. It was pretty neat as they were all over as were macadamia nuts and mangos.

Waiting for our food. My friend suggested we try the foodstand with the longest line. She claimed they were the best and she was right!

 
We dined on barbeque, chicken, corn, rice, pancit and banana lumpia. It was all delicious. Our girls especially loved the pancit, lumpia and chicken. We shared one meal, ate alot of food and paid only $12. Pretty great deal.

On Wednesday night we ventured to the Chamorro Village. It was filled with vendors selling arts/crafts type products, food and live music with dancing. It was a busy, and fun place.

This caption is for my sisters. Both girls like meat like their Momma! ;)

They were offering rides on a water buffalo, which they called a Karaboa. Neither of our girls were excited about getting near that thing let alone on it.


Yep, Mya when she saw the water buffalo ;)

Claire checking out the lizard being careful not to get too close.


The band. People were line dancing just to the left and tables surround the dance floor.

They had these irresistable hula girl cookies that we couldn't pass by.

Mya was super excited to crack into it! We also bought whistles made from bamboo and friendship bracelets. I bought some bracelets at the hotel prior, but I should have waited as they were less expensive in the village.

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really

2 weeks...

As I write this, my house is being cleaned and not by me. This is my favorite day of the week. There is nothing like going home to a clean house and smelling the bleach to know it is germ free as well. This is my second good day in a row! I took the day off yesterday. Claire didn't have school due to Fasching (German equivalent of Halloween--minus the door to door trick or treating), so I gave Mya the option of hanging out with us as well. She took some convincing, but later said she had a great day. I must admit that I was focused on giving my back a much needed break, so my morning consisted of napping and laying on the couch. Not my best parenting in action, but it did wonders for the rest of the day. We met Chris for lunch, then returned home to enjoy the sunshine before the girls' swimming lessons. It was in the 50's yesterday, absolutely gorgeous! It really is hard to believe that we made it through the entire winter with no snow. I think it snowed possibly 2 days, b

4 months

We are potentially down to our last four months in Korea. I say "potentially" because it rests solely on where we are going. If we are heading back to the States, we will most likely be leaving early June so that we can enjoy a full summer with family and have time to get settled before Claire begins school. We caught wind today of what could be our next assignment. Although it is far from official word, all of a sudden my tummy is filled with butterflies. I had the privilege of teaching a little first grade girl who was one of a set of quadruplets. They (she and her sisters) are the most delightful little girls. They are well behaved and truly beautiful inside and out. Anyway, their family was due to PCS (military move) in December. I teased her that I was going to follow her and live down the road. While they were house hunting, I continually asked if there was a neighboring house for me. She'd laugh and giggle, not really sure if I was serious or not. Her Mom thought
